Chapter 243 - Rewards

Souta was checking the things that Raeshka prepared for him. The fruits that could increase his strength, materials for evolution, and one artifact were the things that he requested if he won the battle.

The artifact has an effect that could hide the energy in his body. So if he had the best feram this thing would help him hid the best feram in his body but it couldn’t hide the best feram under the watchful eyes of powerful humans. The SSS-rank and Hero rank would be able to detect his best feram. It means that he wouldn’t be able to hide his energy in front of Bargan who was at the Hero rank.

There were some exceptions to this rule. If an S-rank or SS-rank sensory type appeared they would be able to sense the best feram in his body.

He also wouldn’t be able to use best feram if he was wearing this artifact. The artifact effect would disappear if he uses best feram.

Souta looked at the artifact in his hand. This artifact was only a piece of orange grade equipment and that’s why it could hide his energy from powerful people.

The artifact was a jade color bracelet that has small blue gems around it.

He equipped it and checked its stats in the system.

[Bracelet of Silencing](Orange): A bracelet of an ancient witch who wandered around the continent while hiding her powers. She secretly kidnapped children from different countries and used them for her experiment.

Effect: +60 Intelligence, +30 Vitality, +100 health, +200 mana, and +5 mana regen

Passive skill: It can hide the wearer’s energy from the senses of the people. This have a limit as it can’t hide the wearer’s energy from level 80 creatures and above.

’Good. I’m satisfied with this artifact.’ Souta nodded inwardly while looking at the bracelet on his wrist. The added stats were great. As expected of an orange grade weapon.

Once Souta evolved, he planned to leave towards the God’s continent. He wouldn’t let the powerful people in the Hebrei kingdom sensed his best feram. But he still has a plan to visit small kingdoms, dukedoms, or cities on his way to the other continent and that’s why he needed this bracelet which could hide his best feram from their senses.

He didn’t need to worry about small kingdoms, dukedoms, or cities. The strongest people in that kind of place were only B-rank. Sometimes, they would produce an A-rank or S-rank powerhouse but that’s very rare.

Just like in the Fersch dukedom. The strongest person there was the guild master of the Adventurers Guild and the guild master was only a B-rank adventurer.

Souta could call himself a B-rank at this moment. He had the power of a B-rank as he was a tamer. Yuko’s power was also his power. He had a [Pet Resonance] skill that could create a bridge between them at which they could share their senses and energy. By energy, he meant that if Yuko used the power of blessing he could borrow the best feram in her body through their shared senses.

Actually, Souta could use this skill before in his battle with Yuko. He could borrow her energy through this skill and Yuko could also borrow his energy. It was a risky move but he was sure that Yuko would let him borrow her power but that beats the point of him wanting to test the true extent of his power. Plus, it was unfair for Yuko if he borrowed her power in a fight between them.

He didn’t want to take advantage of her kindness in a battle between the two of them.

Let’s move to the other rewards, the materials for evolution. He didn’t need to worry about the materials for his and Yuko’s evolution. All the materials were in front of him.

Exploding chili cherry, grand blue ash, and the fur of a flaming head ape were the materials for Yuko’s third evolution while the blood of a thirty different third evolution monsters, blood dry ginseng, and the thousand vein leaves was for Souta’s third evolution.

He was halfway through the third evolution and it was still version 1. It was a great start for the upcoming version 2 events.

’I’ve accomplished one of the reasons why I’ve come in Forest of Eternal Light.’ Souta thought and he moved his eyes to the remaining rewards. A variety of fruits were in his vision. All of these fruits could enhance any creature’s body.

He stretched out his hand and picked a red apple fruit. He felt heat coming out of it and thought that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to eat this fruit. This fruit was called flame resistance fruit. It could increase a person’s flame resistance to a high level. Any person who ate this fruit would be able to handle two thousand degrees celsius without using any energy to protect their body.

Nothing will happen if the same person ate this fruit. It wouldn’t increase a person’s flame resistance for a second time. It means that a person would only receive benefits if they ate this fruit for the first time.

"Good..." Souta smiled and he bit the red apple fruit in his hand. If a person wanted to go to the Vulcan’s Ring Continent then they needed this fruit. The average temperature in that place was one thousand five hundred degrees celsius.

*Ding!*

[Flame Resistance has increased!]

After he ate the red apple fruit, Souta picked another fruit. He ate it without care for his surroundings.

*Ding!*

[Your Mana has increased by 20!]

[Your Strength Attribute has increased by 10!]

[Your Mana has increased by 18!]

[Your Agility and Dexterity had increased by 10!]

[Your Defense has increased!]

[Your Water Resistance has increased!]

[Your Lightning Damage has increased!]

[Your Fire Damage has increased!]

[Your Stamina has increased by 50!]

Souta stopped eating the fruits as he turned his head to Yuko. He opened his mouth and said, "You can eat these fruits. It would enhance your body."

Yuko tilted her head while looking at his face. After a while, she understood what he was saying. She opened her mouth and ate one of the fruits on the ground.

Souta smirked as he looked at Yuko. He then shook his head and went back to eating the fruits. There hundreds of fruits on the ground. Souta and Yuko would only waste the other fruits if they ate all of this. Souta planned to bring this back for the members of the Dark Oculus. He didn’t forget them when he told Raeshka the rewards that he wanted.

The system prompts kept ringing in his head as he continued to eat various types of fruits.

*Ding!*

[Your Vitality has increased by 20!]

[Your Defense has increased!]

[Your Energy Resistance has increased!]

[Your Health has increased by 50!]

[Your Mana has increased by 30!]

[Your Darkness has increased!]

[Your Physical Damage Resistance has increased!]

[Your Strength has increased by 40!]

[Your Magical Resistance has increased!]

[Your Poison Resistance has increased!]

[Your Cold Resistance has increased!]

[Your Physical Damage Resistance has increased!]

[Your Dexterity has increased by 30!]

[Your Agility has increased by 25!]

Various fruits with different effects kept entering Souta’s mouth. He only stopped eating the fruits after he felt that he was full.

"Damn! Yuko..." Souta glanced at his side and saw that Yuko was still eating the fruits. He wouldn’t stop her as he knew that she would grow stronger by eating these fruits.

He smiled gently and shook his head. He looked at the changes in his stats in the semi-transparent screen in his vision.

Health: 1,170 » 1,740

Stamina: 605 » 675

Mana: 1,490 » 1,782

Strength: 495 » 570

Agility: 400 » 548

Dexterity: 390 » 495

Intelligence: 530

Vitality: 525 » 610

This was Souta’s base stats without the added stats of his equipment and weapon. Credit to these fruits, he managed to increase all of his attributes except for Intelligence. He couldn’t find any fruits that could increase his Int attribute in the fruits that Raeshka prepared for him.

Well, that doesn’t matter to him as he was satisfied by the huge increase in his stats. His stats weren’t the only things that improved, his defense, resistance to various elements, and elemental damage also improved.

"Don’t eat everything. You will not receive any benefits if you eat the same fruit again and again." Souta stood up and said to Yuko. He patted his clothes and looked around.

Raeshka was gone as she already went back to her castle. The other monsters were gone too.

"It’s time to say goodbye," Souta muttered as he looked at the huge castle in front of him. Thinking about the things that happened this time, Souta couldn’t help but smile. An unexpected event like this wasn’t that bad as he thought.

He walked forwards and entered the castle. Inside the castle, he requested an audience to the monster lord.

Souta talked to Raeshka and he bid farewell to her. He was sure that it was already morning on the surface so he had to leave this place.
